Yana is a tourist destination located in forest of Katgal Range, which is also a part of Malenadu region of Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka state in India. Yana is one of the wettest villages in the world. It is the cleanest village in Karnataka and the second cleanest village in India. The two unique rock outcrops after the village are tourist attractions and easily approachable by two routes one from Kumta-Sirsi Highway by a small trek through 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) the thick forests from the nearest road head and another from Sirsi-Ankola Road

The Yana cave complex consists of two black-coloured ant-hill-shaped gigantic hills named Bhairaveshwara Shikhara and Mohini Shikhara, situated just above the Sahyadri mountain range. Both shikaras, or hills, are created naturally from black karst limestone.

The Lord Shiva cave temple is situated at the gateway of Bhairaveshwara Shikhara, with water constantly dripping over the sculpture. The sculptures of Lord Shiva at the temple are popularly believed to have evolved under natural conditions, and people visit the Yana shrine to experience this miraculous sight.
